Kareena Kapoor is one of the most popular actresses in the country. The mother of two has come a long way in the industry, however, things weren’t this smooth and beautiful for the actress before. The actress and her sister (Karishma Kapoor) were raised by their single mother Babita Kapoor and faced a lot of financial struggles in the past.
In an old interview with Hindustan Times, Kareena Kapoor spoke about her past struggles and how she and her sister weren’t brought up in luxury. “We weren’t brought up in luxury, as people think about the Kapoor clan. My mom (Babita) and sister (Karisma) really struggled to give me a better life. Especially my mom, because she was a single parent. Everything was very limited for us.”
She added, “Lolo went to college in local trains, but I escaped that because I didn’t go to college here. But I took the school bus like everyone else. We had one car and didn’t have enough money for a driver. It’s only because mom brought us up like this that we value everything we have today. The bad days we have seen have made us very strong and fragile at the same time. And the experiences have made me a very intense person.”
